In our first episode for 2022, we bring our heartwarming conversation with Justine Cox. A business owner, leadership coach and mother, Justine is candid, raw and honest about her very personal experience of Peri Menopause.

With 2022 in its infancy, Justine provides some great tips from her own personal Peri Menopause experience and highlights how Peri Menopause is an opportune time to reflect and realign yourself, your health and life - perfect timing for the year ahead!

As a passionate leadership coach, Justine provides some great insights into how leaders can better support their people journeying through Peri Menopause, with trust, kindness and strength.

As you know our podcast has a specific focus on Peri Menopause, but it is important for us to also acknowledge that Menopause doesn’t just happen. We experience our reproductive years and menstrual cycles in the lead up to Peri Menopause and those experiences become part of our story and contribute to our Menopause experience. 

So it is important for us to bring to you the awareness of various conditions and experiences women have around their menstrual cycles and life phases, because these are vast and varied.

Adriana shares her personal journey with PMDD and endometriosis, highlighting the challenges and triumphs along the way. Through her advocacy work, Adriana is on a mission to raise awareness and promote education on menstrual health, aiming to destigmatize and empower individuals.

In this week's episode, Lisa and Nat chat about how to actually talk about Menopause, not just with your doctor or your workplace but with your friends and loved ones. Even though Peri Menopause/Menopause is a completely natural and normal phase of life, women are still embarrassed, ashamed or scared about talking about what they are going through. In fact, whispering the M word seems to be the most popular way to start talking about. 

Lisa and Nat inspire women to be open and honest, first with themselves and then with those they love and trust most. Having a supportive tribe whom you can talk, cry, laugh, vent with is so important for navigating through this phase of life. 

You can follow Lisa and Nat on Instagram for daily tips and inspiration on supporting your whole health during Peri Menopause. Peri Menopause Power is their signature program supporting women on how to define their own Peri Menopause journey. Feel free to contact them through their website www.ownyourhealthco.com.au

In this enlightening episode of Peri Menopause Power, we delve into the transformative power of open dialogue about menopause. We are still seeing such a reluctance to talk about this phase or even say the word "MENOPAUSE" that we deep dive into how talking about it can be a gamechanger for our experience. 

We give insights into our latest research survey and how this has driven creation of our Let's Talk community. Breaking the silence surrounding this natural phase of life is essential to combatting the isolation and loneliness often experienced by women. By sharing stories and experiences, we can create a supportive community that empowers women to embrace this stage of life with confidence and grace.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why open communication about menopause is crucial for both women experiencing it and those who support them.
• How breaking the silence can empower you to find the information and resources you need.
• The benefits of sharing your experience with other women, from reducing loneliness to fostering a supportive community.
• Practical tips for starting the conversation.

Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.

In this episode, we explore the powerful concept of cycles in a woman’s life and how they continue to influence us even after menopause.

From menstruation to midlife, women are attuned to cycles that shape their physical, emotional and spiritual journeys. But what happens after the menstrual cycle ends? 

We dive deep into how Menopausal women can stay connected to their natural rhythms and find new cycles that support their wellbeing.

Join us as we discuss how tracking the moon’s phases, tuning into nature’s rhythms and embracing intuitive cycles can help post-menopausal women continue to live with intention, balance, and purpose.

Key Discussion Points

• Understanding how women move through different cycles in life.
• How menopause marks a shift in the way women connect to cycles, but not the end of cyclic living.
• Exploring how the moon’s cycles offer a new framework for tracking energy, creativity, and self-reflection after menstruation.
• The rise of intuition post-menopause and how women can use it to create their own cycles of self-care, reflection, and personal growth.
• Ideas for integrating the phases of the moon and seasonal cycles into daily life for continuous balance and wellbeing.

She is open and honest about this stage of life and her own personal Perimenopause story.  We talk through how at 46 she decided to enter a body building competition that coincided with Perimenopause. We talk brutally honest about the guilt that is those "out of the blue" angry mood swings, the ongoing hot flushes, moving your body and the importance of self love. 

Danielle is a contagious ball of energy and we know that you will have a big beautiful smile on your face listening to our conversation with her. 

You can follow Danielle or connect with her at Menopause Play and The Menopausal Box and be sure to catch her very funny reels!

In this weeks episode we bring you something a little different. We have used this episode to introduce you to one of the most beautiful poems we have ever heard - She Let Go which is written by Saffire Rose.

When Natalie first stumbled upon this poem she was taken with it immediately and knew she had to share it with our community. The words depict so beautifully the opportunity and struggle for us women to simply let go. And you might have a different perception of the words and resonate with them for different reasons but the the simplicity of deciding to let go as per the words, gives the sense of hope, choice and power. 

We hope you enjoy this episode and more specifically the beautiful poem. If you can take a moment whilst listening to this episode to bring about a sense of peace and stillness.

If you would like to listen to Natalie's meditation She Let go on Insight Timer, be sure to take a listen here. 

We also coach and guide our clients on bringing greater self awareness, love and compassion to themselves through meditation, you can book a discovery call with us here to learn more about this service to support you.

At our 2021 World Menopause Day event, Mish stared as a panelist providing her incredible insights into exercise, starting exercise during Peri Menopause and the obstacles that get in the way of us women exercising. After hearing her knowledge, we knew we had to get her on our podcast.

In this episode, we start the conversation (of many episodes) about food and the importance of food as a lifestyle support strategy for Peri Menopause, in fact for life. 

As we discussed many times, women go through many many changes throughout their entire lifetime and Peri Menopause is one of those significant changes as we know. As we transition through this phase of life we may start to recognise that what has worked for us in the past may not work for us now. As we evolve in our physical body so do the ways we look after ourselves during this phase and beyond. 

A review of diet and lifestyle is helpful at this time because you will notice changes happening to your body as it is adapting to this next stage of life.

Food nutrition can play a significant role in supporting a healthy menopause journey offering you an opportunity to use food as lifestyle medicine without adding too much to your to-do list...As Lisa says let's make sure we get bang for our buck with the nutrients, goodness and support from the food we eat. 

In this episode, Lisa shares great insights into macro and micro nutrients, structuring your plate and blood sugar control. 

Food nutrition is a core part of the services we offer our clients through coaching and workshops. If you would love to learn more about how food can support your health, your life and of course Peri Menopause journey you can book in a complimentary coaching chat with us. We can work with you in person or online, so we can support you no matter where you are in the world!
